Scapegoat. Long live the Commissioner
Report: Bud Selig will use rare commissioner's power to ban A-Rod if he appeals suspension
If New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez appeals an increasingly imminent suspension, MLB commissioner Bud Selig is considering invoking his power as commissioner to keep Rodriguez off the field.
He could decide to do that, the New York Daily News is reporting, through a rarely invoked commissioner's power — "the right to take action against a player to preserve the integrity of the game."
The Daily News report is the strongest indication yet that Selig is prepared to employ extreme measures if Rodriguez appeals his looming suspension, which may be handed down this week. Rodriguez's lawyer, David Cornwell, said Monday that he and Rodriguez were focused on fighting any possible suspension of Rodriguez through the appeals process.
"We are focused on an appeal," Cornwell said in an interview Monday with Stephen A. Smith on "The Michael Kay Show" on ESPN New York 98.7.
The Daily News reported Sunday that baseball is "armed with voluminous evidence they believe would warrant lifetime banishment." A source close to Rodriguez told the paper, however, that he is "sticking to his story" and will not accept a deal. Cornwell confirmed that stance publicly in the interview Monday.
If Selig does go this route, he would be invoking Article XI, Section A1b of MLB's collective bargaining agreement. He would effectively bypass both the grievance and appeals process and the Joint Drug Agreement, setting up a potential legal collision course among the league, the players' union and Rodriguez.
According to the report, MLB believes it has gathered enough evidence to potentially go to this extreme. The report highlights Selig, in particular, as adamant that Rodriguez never sees the field again:
Selig is believed to be so determined to keep Rodriguez from ever stepping on a Major League Baseball field again that he is risking a reopening of the collective bargaining agreement or even a federal court case with his decision to bypass the usual grievance procedures and exercise his power to take action on an issue "involving the preservation of the integrity of, or the maintenance of public confidence in, the game of baseball."
The only person(s) that is/not preserving the integrity of the game is/are Bud Selig and the NYY. Alex has the right to appeal his suspension and continue playing while the appeal is heard just like any other player would, especially for a first time offence. Once again MLB comes out looking like the bad guy. Making the rules up as they go.
Someone is just trying to weasel out of paying A-Rod the millions he has already earned. Smells awful fishy. Don't ban the man, pay the man, let him play. A-Rod is the greatest baseball player that has ever played the game. The only way to stop A-Rod from even breaking more records, is to ban him from baseball. Bud Selig has more power than President Obama. Selig needs to do the right thing and support A-Rod. Que viva mi raza.
this is blackmail
@CassieLake I smell an anti trust case somewhere in MLB future, its hard to defend ARod, the owners were complicit for many years, now the have egg on their face they are trying to make an example of him by colluding with the Yankees... than god football season is near.
Good luck with this MLB is the only of the 4 major sports that has Anti-trust exemptions
All A-Rod wants is his money....all the Yankees want is for an insurance company to pick up 80% of A-Rod's contract....all the league wants is for A-Rod never to set foot on a Major league field again.
All the fans want is for this to be over and for Selig to retire.
Not a lot to ask for...right?
I look forward to the day where fans stop vilifying the athletes alone, and acknowledge that many others catalyzed and profited from athletes' drug use: owners, general managers, trainers, drug pushers and advertisers to name a few.
And Bud Selig deserves a special position of shame for the steroid era as he helped create and sustained for two decades. Bud Selig's legacy will be complete if he throws an arcane paragraph of the rulebook at someone he helped create. The two are flawed humans, but similarly responsible for tarnishing an era of sport. And neither seems to get it. Sad.
There needs to be a way to get a lifetime ban for Bud Selig. The Selig era has dropped a deuce on the legacy of MLB.
Maybe he could appeal the ban.
HMMM. For most of my life I was a Yankee fan..Now just an Ichiro, Jeter, Rivera fan.
Bud Selig , Alex Rodriguez and MLB are pathetic. Selig watched for the past 20 yrs as 90% of the players were obviously juiced up CHEATERS__but he and the other rich boy club owners didnt say a word as the cash registers sang louder with every 500 ft HR and the game was being destroyed right before our eyes. I hate AROID and Selig but it appears that some kind of back room deal has been struck between the Yankees and MLB. Obviously money is the motivator AGAIN.. Sports used to be one of the places I could go to get away from it all and enjoy the competition between great athletes. Instead it is a CESSPOOL of ARROGANT, LYING, SPOILED,CHEATERS...
The only interesting thing is to try to guess who is NOT cheating..(Thus the 3 players mentioned above) and try to imagine what their numbers would be like if they were playing against non-Cheaters...
I'ld like to see Selig and Aroid in JAIL.........that wont happen though.. They are both accomplices in ruing America's pastime as well as the dumb as# uneducated fans who actually pay money to watch this field of schemes.
This would clearly be the only smart thing Selig has done in years !!
I agree there is something fishy here regarding the Yanks wishing to rid themselves of this contract, as this talk started before the recent PED stories. I think the other owners might not be OK with tossing the CBA to benefit the Yankees. This whole mess will end up in the courts, as happened with Bountygate, and MLB and Bosch will get destroyed by a good legal team. Not defending Arod at all, but the Yanks were only bidding against themselves with Arod's contract (was anyone else really going to agree to pay him 20+ million in his 40's?).
Hmm going to great lengths to save the Yanks money I see. While the brewers are giving back Braun's salary to the fans. Let's see if the Yanks do the same or if Selig just helps them pocket millions so they can bring in another PED user and claim innocence. Sorry but the last team that should be taken off the hook financially is the Yanks. They have had more PED users wear their uniform then all other teams put together. And Scheffield tried to everyone so years ago and they shut him up to like Canseco
GalenF. You're living in a fantasy land if you don't think every other major league sport has the same PED issue. It just gets more press in baseball. No one watches football and actually thinks 300 pound men can run the 40 in 4.5 seconds naturally. So people don't care as much. Baseball cares more about its history than any other sport, and it has the longest history. The extent to which Alex Rodriguez has attempted to cheat the system this time is disgusting, and he deserves that lifetime ban. 19 different PED's taken each day, and a system of lies that makes any other player's transgressions look like nothing in comparison. This is a man who has actively gone out and recruited young baseball players to start taking steroids so they can "play like him". Selig has every right to go out there and use the Integrity clause. And any person bashing the Yankees for signing Arod should understand that any team in baseball would have gladly had him if they could back in 2004, even if they had a star shortstop, they would have done what the Yanks did. I hope he never plays a single game of baseball ever again
I hope this turns into a knock down, drag out saga for both sides. It will just continue to make MLB look like a pathetic soap opera. But, why do baseball fans continue to be suckers? The game is a fraud yet you're still willing to shell out serious $ for tickets and sit through 160+ game season while supporting these idiots? Smarten up people!!
MLB and the Commissioner's office are simply trying to save the owners and the Yanks some dollars. This witch hunt should have ended long ago, and MLB should have gone forward from that point with a thorough testing program. Continuing to persecute individual players a decade later, demonstrates how much less they care about the game, and, how much more they care about dollars. I hope A-Rod fights it tooth-and-nail!
One could see that there was an underlying ugliness to this.
Let me get this straight....if A-rod appeals he will get a life-time ban from Bud. If he accepts the suspension, he will most likely get the 60 million left on his contract. And his lawyer is saying they are prepared to fight the suspension??? Once again...fight it and your gone with not a cent....go home and shut up and take your punishment like a man...60 million. How on Earth is this decision hard?
If Selig's going to ban A-Rod, what about Boston's dirty duo, Ortiz and Manny? Ortiz is still happily playing after delivering two PED infested titles.
Please, for once, let it be so. For any fan who works at a normal job, things would never have gone this long. We would have been fired long ago if we abused controlled substances as part of our job. I don't doubt for one second that even though Selig wants him gone, the Yankees are even more motivated to see him banned. It will be an early Christmas for them as Santa Selig will erase the incredibly stupid contract that they have with A-Fraud.
@YaValioCacaWate Greatest baseball player to play the game? Really? He doesn't hold a candle to the greats, and after this scandal, his name will be a footnote in baseball history.
@MikeDelena Blackmail? how so?
@Getyourfootofftheboat If what you say is true, and I have no reason to disagree, the common denominator is he never plays again. We will see.
@freedman1 Your right, more then just the players had a hand in this, but does that mean we are suppose to excuse their actions?
At the end of the day it was their choice to take the drugs, The owners, Gm's, Trainers or Dealers did not force them to do it. It was all about greed and chasing the almighty dollar.
What gets under my skin about it is everyone seems to think the "steroid era" started somewhere around 1994 and that is BS, it started more around 1960, and at least baseball is really trying to do something about this, No one seems to care that the NBA, NHL and Almighty NFL have much easier drug testing in place for their players
You're forgetting the Union. For years, MLBPA resisted any testing at all, and is still playing games about HGH testing. For years, MLBPA has protected dirty players fiercely while ignoring the concerns of clean players.
@EMGEE Sorry to remind you that the Black Sox cheating scandal happened before you were born. When money and fame are involved, there have always been cheaters. Try to enjoy the beauty of the game which will always outlive the bad apples.
@EMGEE so you never were really a Yankees fan unless you less than 10 years old. Many great Yankees have come and gone, generalizations for effect help no one including your argument.
@EMGEE What's wrong with Cano?
@CassieLake I smell an anti trust case somewhere in MLB future, its hard to defend ARod, the owners were complicit for many years, now the have egg on their face they are trying to make an example of him by colluding with the Yankees... than god football season is near.
@MatthewGalbraith The Yanks extended Arod following the 2007 season for 10 years at 275 million when he was 32 yrs old, taking him beyond his 43 birthday. I don't think any team in baseball would have made that deal, and I believe the Yanks should eat the cash to be fair to less reckless teams. At that time they were bidding against themselves, just as they were a couple years ago with Sabathia. Otherwise, I totally agree about other pro sports. Anyone who believes other pro sports are clean is naive. Only baseball beats itself up about it.
@GalenF Yes, as opposed to the squeaky-clean NFL and NBA.
@GalenF It's alot better than the National Felons League !!
@Petzuk @Petzuk it is not about the PED's it is the fact that AROD was involved with destroying evidence and hindering the investigation. That is why his punishment might be more severe. I am a Yankees fan, and I want AROD gone. He is a bum, and has been a worthless addition to the team. One good year during his whole Yankee tenure.
@Petzuk zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
get over it already. cheaters on every team
@Korzagg @MikeDelena if you tell someone they cant do something they are allowed to do, and threaten them with a consequence for doing what they have a right to do, thats blackmail. arod if suspended is entitled to an appeal. selig is threatening to ban him for life if he exercises his right to appeal
@MidwestGolfFan @freedman1 You're forgetting the fact the Union was doing what the players wanted.
Tony Bosch tried to sell his "records" to Alex for 7 figures in an attempted blackmail attempt. Alex declined but Bud Selig bought them. Sounds like Alex didn't impede the investigation but Bud and company are paying Drug Dealers to children and minors substantial sums in collusion with the Yankees to demonize Alex. Good luck with that.
@DODGERFAIL2013Putting aside actual PED use for a moment - one thing that prosecutors, anyone in any judicial system, and people in general really dislike is being outright lied to. That's why in our legal system the penalties for perjury are so high. Another thing is having investigations interfered with. Arod has seemingly blatantly done both. It's a big reason they want to hang him.
@MikeDelena @KorzaggNo he is offering a deal, Arod can accept the 1 1/2 year suspension, if he does not take that he will be banned for life, he could then try and appeal that lifetime ban.
@mystafugee @MidwestGolfFan @freedman1
No, it was doing what SOME of the players wanted. The rest, given what I know about unions, were cowed or even threatened into sullen silence.
@Yahoo User2 @DODGERFAIL2013 The same logic should apply to all our elected officials, they lie to us everyday and deliver jack squat, We live in a rogues gallery of liars so no one has the high ground here, if you think all the professional leagues are not aware that drugs are part of the game, then you are lying to yourself, they only get upset when they are caught, A _ROd and MLB are partners in the same crime.

Essential Coconut Almond
Author Notes: As a girl, my dad would buy us whole coconuts frequently. We would all clamor down to the basement and watch him hammer it open as we discussed the size of our coconut pieces. As a big nut lover, my dad would always mix nuts in whenever possible. The chilled coconut meat and almond flavor of these times inspired the creation of this pure and essential recipe. These two flavors work together to bring out the fresh coconut flavor. - AveryM
Serves 6
- 2 cups Unsweetened coconut milk
- 2/3 cups white sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup thin sliced almonds
- 1 cup fresh coconut meat
- Comine coconut milk, sugar, and almond extract.
- Stir mixture until the sugar is mostly absorbed into the milk mixture.
- Then add in the corn syrup and heavy whipping cream.
- Mix all ingredients well. A blender also works very well for this.
- Place mixture in an ice-cream maker until solid. Serve after the ic cream has been in the freezer for 4 hours. Then top with sliced almonds and coconut meat and serve.

Caught short: Chris Rogers is run out in the second over of Australia's innings. Photo: Getty Images
As a pitiless 43-degree sun beat down on the WACA Ground, 22,000 valiant spectators might have thought that they were seeing a series of mirages. Shimmering in the first was a batting team tying itself in tangle-footed knots, taking panicky swipes at bouncers and generally frittering away wickets.
Confusingly, these cats on this hot tin roof were not English, but Australian. One ran himself out before the match was two overs old. Another played a one-handed hook and was caught. Shane Watson surrendered his wicket, again. Only Dave Warner, playing a simplified game of drive and pull, bucked the trend, but when he shaped to cut Graeme Swann, he was limply caught at backward point.
In truth, this was not a case of seeing things, but seeing things as they are. All through the northern summer, Australia's Achilles heel was its brittle batting. In first innings in this series, Australia variously has been 6/132, 4/174 and on Friday, 5/143.
Third Ashes Cricket Test, Day One
Steve Smith of Australia celebrates his century during day one of the Third Ashes Test Match. Photo by Getty Images
Then, as the day wore on and the crowd either thinned on the grassy banks or seeped through them, another image manifested, rising out of the first. This was recognisably latter-day Australia, batting deep and strong. The constant is Brad Haddin, the variation on a theme this day Steve Smith. Ruffled early, Haddin bided his time and selected his shots and made another half-century; to him now belongs the unlikely epithet "ever dependable".
Like Warner, Smith has discovered the virtue of standing stock still until the ball is delivered, then leaving, defending or pouncing according to its trajectory.
Alone of the specialists, he hit upon the right tempo on Friday. To open his scoring, he drove Swann for six, and continued to drive the off-spinner handsomely throughout. For the seamers, it was drive, pull, face of the bat or none at all.
The three balls from Ben Stokes that sped him to 100 spoke for all others: on-drive for four, meaty block, thumping pull for four. Next to sun-, it was the most telling stroke of the day. This innings ought to be the making of Smith. With he as fulcrum, Australia made 1/183 in this second imagining.
Ah, Western Australia. Big sky, big country, big bouncing wicket. The cricket always is different here, and in any given summer, the series never quite the same afterwards. The bowling is faster, the bounce higher, the sun fiercer, the light brighter, the game larger in all its dimensions. Friday's twist was that it seemed initially to surprise the Australians as much as the English. Then again, there were no native West Australians in this team. One year, there were seven, and the local paper editorialised its disgust that two others had been overlooked.
From the start, the runs came at a gallivanting rush, five an over or more, and would abate only slightly. Once hit to the outfield, the ball was like a runaway train. Nine balls in, Chris Rogers was 11, an hour or more's worth another day. Giddy, he ran himself out. Captain Michael Clarke clipped the first ball he faced from Swann directly to his counterpart, Alastair Cook. On the face of it, this was reckless. But Australia owes itself powerful position in this series to its subjugation of Swann. Calculated risk is risk none the less; Clarke's dismissal can be put down to occupational hazard.
Not so Watson. Yet again, he batted to deceive. Yet again, he drove at ball not full enough for the shot, and was caught in slips. Except for the century he made against an experimental England attack in the last, dead rubber at The Oval in August, Watson has averaged 20 against England this year. It is time to revise the standard thesis that he has underperformed, and conclude instead that he, too, is an optical illusion.
As for George Bailey, he will look back on his unequal battle with Stuart Broad and wish to start it again. Twice, short balls whistled over his shoulder, loosening his resolve and his method. When a third came, he flung one hand at it and was caught in the deep. As a newbie, his grasp on a Test place is tenuous enough to need two hands.
For England, this day must have felt like the Nullabor Plain, endless, hot and sapping, implying from the start the certainty that no matter how strong the spirit stayed, the flesh would weaken. For half a day, it forestalled fate. Though the ball swung little, conventionally or reverse, the bowlers struck a WACA Ground length and stuck to it. The catchable catches all were held. A plan was hatched to wear down Haddin and at length it worked. And still the game ran away from Cook and his men.
By the end of a broiling afternoon, the Barmy Army could raise no more than a single plaintive verse at a time, and even the beach balls were plopping back to earth as if they couldn't be fagged, and the Ashes that felt so substantial in English hands in August now were a chimera.

It's only a matter of time, and we're so calling it. TLC will soon come up with a new bridal series on brides searching for "the ones," i.e., the perfect pair of bridal shoes. We're envisioning an entourage of mommas and grandmas sobbing hysterically as the bride tries on "the ones," a fabulous shoe stylist with an equally-fabulous southern drawl and tons of product placement from Jimmy, Manolo and the usual crew. Throw in some jealous siblings and resentful bridesmaids, and we've got ourselves a new hit show.
While we won't be signing up anytime soon to be contestants on "Say Yes to the Shoes," we do love some good, old-fashioned bridal-shoe porn. Sure, the dress, is important, but dare we say that shoes are right up there? Here are 50 wedding shoes for brides-to-be, and we threw in an extra for good luck.

America's Nuclear Nightmare: 31 Reactor's Like Japan's/Regulators Ignoring Risk
Does this scare the hell out of you guys like it does me? When I see what happened in Japan & realize we have the same exact plants - built to only last 40 years - & the same lacksidasical controls & foresight it gives me shivers.
I mean it's unimaginable to me that they could build a nuclear plant 30 miles from New York City & place it right one convergence of TWO fault lines!!!
What the fuck are these people thinking? I feel we're doomed to be devastatingly damaged by inadequate government controls & corporate greed...
Only in America, eh Don?

There are lots of things that I am like...... I for one grew up in the church and believe in God jesus and yes the tribulation, rapture etc. Now here in 2011 people make believers look like far out radical crazies.. This leads to my point, growing up a lot of things that was predicted I was like no way, sound intelligent leaders of the world knowing what the bible says, would not allow decisions to be made that would set the world on a course towards these horrendous outcomes. However, all one has to do is look at all the crazy decisions like this you mention Gordoom, and them other things leaders of countrys are doing currently. Combine that with the ability via technology for a average every day joe to be creative and do something that could pretty much take down a city, if not a country (Bin Laden)for period of time...
This nightmare is something you and I agree is unthinkable that our leaders and planners woud do such a crazy thing, but it seems like that is all that our elected officals do is make decisions the totally befuddle the average US citizen.
Pockets of lethal radiation remind of Fukushima plant danger
TOKYO (Reuters) - Pockets of lethal levels of radiation have been detected at Japan's crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in a fresh reminder of the risks faced by workers battling to contain the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl.
Plant operator Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco) reported on Monday that radiation exceeding 10 sieverts (10,000 millisieverts) per hour was found at the bottom of a ventilation stack standing between two reactors.
On Tuesday Tepco said it found another spot on the ventilation stack itself where radiation exceeded 10 sieverts per hour, a level that could lead to incapacitation or death after just several seconds of exposure.
The company used equipment to measure radiation from a distance and was unable to ascertain the exact level because the device's maximum reading is 10 sieverts.
While Tepco said the readings would not hinder its goal of stabilizing the Fukushima reactors by January, experts warned that worker safety could be at risk if the operator prioritized hitting the deadline over radiation risks.
"Radiation leakage at the plant may have been contained or slowed but it has not been sealed off completely. The utility is likely to continue finding these spots of high radiation," said Kenji Sumita, a professor at Osaka University who specializes in nuclear engineering.
"Considering this, recovery work at the plant should not be rushed to meet schedules and goals as that could put workers in harm's way. We are past the immediate crisis phase and some delays should be permissible."
Workers at Daiichi are only allowed to be exposed to 250 millisieverts of radiation per year.
Tepco, which provides power to Tokyo and neighboring areas, said it had not detected a sharp rise in overall radiation levels at the compound.
"The high dose was discovered in an area that doesn't hamper recovery efforts at the plant," Tepco spokesman Junichi Matsumoto told reporters on Tuesday.
Although it is still investigating the matter, Tepco said the spots of high radiation could stem from debris left behind by emergency venting conducted days after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that crippled the plant.
Historically Nuc power is the safest. The fear w Nuc is a problem basically can basically make an area uninhabitable for some time.

Earthquake may have exceeded nuclear plant's design
By Wendy Koch, USA TODAY
A nuclear power plant has reported that last week's 5.8-magnitude earthquake may have created stronger shaking that it was designed to withstand, prompting the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to send additional inspectors to the Virginia facility this week.
That estimate is now in question. The difference may be lost in the translation from magnitude to ground motion. Although earthquakes are routinely measured in magnitude, or energy released, the NRC requires the nation's 104 nuclear reactors to withstand a predicted level of ground motion, or acceleration — something calculated as a g-force. The NRC has cautioned that it's not easy to convert the two.
Norvelle said last week that the North Anna plant, which has been shut down since the quake, was designed to withstand ground motion of 0.12g where the foundation is rock and 0.18 where it's soil. What was the quake's ground motion under the facility?
"That data are so preliminary that we're not going to discuss them," he said in an interview Monday, adding the plant may be able to do so by week's end. He said the plant has more than a dozen sensors, and it's not received data yet from all of them.
He hastened to add that no "significant" damage has been found yet at the plant, which shut down automatically last Tuesday after it lost off-site power for seven hours. During that time, backup diesel generators kicked in to keep the radioactive core cool.
On Friday, Dominion notified NRC that "the seismic activity potentially exceeded the Design Basis," and on Monday, the NRC announced that it is sending an "augmented inspection team."
"There doesn't appear to be any damage to safety systems," said regional NRC spokesman Roger Hannah. But if the quake's ground motion did exceed the plant's design basis, he said the facility will have to examine what can be done to rectify the situation.
I mean it's unimaginable to me that they could build a nuclear plant 30 miles from New York City & place it right one convergence of TWO fault lines!!!
I didnt mention that I pass on the other side of the hudson from this plant daily and am a short walk from direct view when at work.

text: How to Best Defoliate Drought-stressed Cotton Cotton regrowth after defoliation is higher during drought years. Published on: Aug 28, 2012 Drought-stressed cotton often has thick cuticles and leathery leaves that inhibit the uptake of many defoliants. The potential for regrowth is often high due to unused nitrogen remaining after premature cutout. The uptake of Freefall appears to be slightly inhibited in drought-stressed cotton and higher rates may be needed. Ginstar delivers a liquid form of thidiazuron and limited research suggests that their uptake may be less affected by drought-stressed cotton than wet-table powder formulations of Freefall. Tank mixtures with Folex , as well as the addition of silicone surfactants or ammonium sulfate, have been shown to increase the uptake of Freefall on drought-stressed cotton. However, use caution when applying higher rates or adjuvants in warmer weather, as desiccation and stuck leaves may result.Cotton regrowth after defoliation is higher during drought years. Drought-stressed cotton's thicker cuticles also limit the penetration of some products. In high temperatures, combinations of herbicidal-type defoliants may desiccate leaves. Regrowth is often a problem if rainfall occurs following application. Regrowth can be a concern with applications of Folex alone or tank-mixed with ethephon, depending on moisture conditions and temperature following application. Activity of most defoliants is reduced under cooler conditions, and higher rates will be needed. Regrowth is generally not as big a concern as with warmer temperatures. Boll openers should be added to all treatments to ensure boll opening in the event of freezing temperatures. -Main is the cotton and small grains specialist with the University of Tennessee Extension.

Special Offer
Im the guy who decides if your boyfriend gains entrance to a strip joint. But dont call me a bouncerI prefer the term hostand I consider where I work to be a gentlemens club. I usually hang out just inside the front entrance, waiting for customers to line up at the door (which they do in droves). I always let the club regulars in firstespecially those I know to be really big spenders. Everyone has to pay a $20 cover charge to get in, but the guys who know whats up slip me at least $20 more to ensure they get the best seats in the house.
The Scene
I bring patrons into the main room, which has three stages with two girlswearing nothing but G-strings, garter belts, and stilettosdancing on each. One will be swinging around a pole, while the other is slithering across the stage. Sometimes they kiss or touch each other to get the guys excited...but theyre mostly focused on entertaining the dudes sitting in front who are eagerly stuffing ones, tens, and twenties into their garter belts. You might assume that all men go to strip clubs to drool over women with giant fake boobs, but some of our customers like women who have small chests, so we hire dancers with that body type too. We even have one guy who always comes in asking for women with broad shoulders and a little extra meat on their arms. He pays those girls toget this!hug him. Its really weird, but hes totally harmless. Everyone else shows up for one reason and one reason only: lap dances. When Im on duty inside the club instead of at the front door, a dude will point out which dancer he thinks is hot, and Ill bring her over to give him a dance, which costs $20 and lasts the length of a song. The stripper will usually start by dangling her hair in a guys face so he can get a whiff of how amazing she smells. Then she sticks her chest in his face and proceeds to dance very provocatively, usually while standing between his legs. The good dancers do this until the guy gets really aroused and antes up for another dance. The great dancers can actually take a guy to the brink, if you know what I mean, without ever even touching skin directly. It might disturb you, but its true. Our bathroom attendants tell me that men sometimes try to use the hand dryers to clean up their pants.

Saudi Arabia have responded to their disappointing exit at the group stage of the Asian Cup by sacking Nasser Al Johar, who becomes the country's second coach to be relieved of his duties in the space of three games.
Jose Peseiro lost his job following the country's opening defeat to Syria, while a 1-0 loss to Jordan precipitated the removal of Prince Sultan Bin Fahd as the president of the Saudi Football Federation.
Saudi Arabia were hammered 5-0 by Japan in their final group game, failing to qualify for the latter stages for the second time in the competition's history, and the federation has taken swift action by sacking Al Johar.
Team manager Fahd Al-Misaibeeh and members of his staff have also been relieved of their positions.
"The Saudi Soccer Federation has accepted the resignation of Fahd Al-Misaibeeh, manager of the Saudi national team, and his crew, and relieved Nasser Al-Johar of his post as the current team's coach," SPA said, citing a statement from Prince Nawaf.
"We vow to immediately replace them by a highly-qualified international crew and domestic aides."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Three men walked into a local store and walked out with three brand new computers.
The problem is - they didn't pay for them - and they were caught on tape stealing them.
Metro police said the men figured out a way to disable the store's security alarm.
The crime happened at 6 p.m. June 23 at Staples store on Powell Avenue near the 100 Oaks Mall.
"They were inside for approximately six minutes," said Daniel Henkel of the Metro Police Department. "They were able to disable the alarm system to the laptop computer section and then walked out of the store with three laptop computers stuck down the rear of their clothing."
The crime was captured on videotape.
Police said the suspects are between the ages of 16 and 25. All of them were wearing multi-colored shirts and jeans.
"We have face shots," Henkel said. "It should be easy for anyone to recognize who know these individuals or has seen these individuals."
The crime happened at a busy time in a busy area.
"We're hoping people may have seen these individuals either getting in or out of a vehicle may recognized them from the photos," Henkel said.
Police said if the stolen computers turn up they can identify them, because they have the serial numbers.
"Anyone who is approached about inexpensive laptop computers should be suspicious and if they can get a serial number we can track them and determine if they are stolen," Henkel said
If anyone knows anything about the theft of laptop computers at the Staples store near the 100 Oaks Mall they should call Crime Stoppers at 74-CRIME. Callers can earn up to $1,000 and remain anonymous.

But is it even feasible to put people on the red planet in 10 years? The space experts at Montana State University tell us there are some big hurdles to overcome.
"Food, and water and things to build a habitat on Mars, launching all that material is really expensive."
One and half billion dollars expensive according to Angela Des Jardins, the program director at the Montana Space Grant Consortium.
She tells us safety of astronauts on the mission is also a major concern.
"Here on Earth we are protected by our radiation belts which are generated by our magnetic fields and our atmosphere," Des Jardins said.
Planet Mars has many similarities to Earth -- it's a rocky body, approximately the same time of day, and it has a similar atmosphere. Just because there are similarities to Earth, doesn't mean that human life on Mars wouldn't face any challenges.
"In order to do that they're going to have to shelter them from radiation because with this type of cancer people will get being exposed to radiation, they're not going to live past a year," said Des Jardins.
Mars One does have a plan for staffing and paying for the mission -- a global reality show.
We asked a college student if she would be willing to compete for a trip to Mars. "It sounds great, I wouldn't personally do it, but I think it's cool."
The organization doesn't plan to launch its first robot until 2016, so there's some time to think about your application.

When I was younger, I used to be a regular at the local hospital. Nothing too serious, mostly check-ups, but I still owe a lot to a few doctors in my life. I've been fortunate that the operations I needed in my life all went well, and I attribute that mostly to the physicians who performed them. Today, at dusk, the festival day of the Asklepieia starts. The Asklepieia (Ἀσκληπίεια) was held on the eighth day of Elaphebolion, in honor of Asklēpiós, who was honored monthly on the eighth. The Asklepieia is linked to the Epidausia, celebrated six months later, as both were special days where those in the medical profession--as well as those seeking medical counsel--made sacrifices to Asklēpiós.

Because it's been a while since the last constellation, I'm going to give you not one but two constellations today (also because it's much easier to describe both in one post, seeing as the mythology surrounding these two has mixed throughout the years, so I'm really just making it easier on myself).
Ever so often, I get the feeling I really need to write about something specific; references to the topic pop up everywhere, I get asked questions about it, and the desire to write about anything else drops to an all-time low. So here we go: today's blog post is about Hestia and Dionysos, and who has the throne up on snowy Olympos.
The ancient Hellenes were very keen people, interested in all things nature, science and philosophy. They searched for answers to questions about their life, as well as the Theoi, and they theorized structurally about any discoveries they made, be it in health care, science or paleontology. Especially in the latter department, there are a few discoveries that might have shaped a large part of ancient Hellenic mythology and religion in general. Today, we'll be discussing some of those.
Nichoria (Νιχώρια) is a site in Messenia, a regional unit in the southwestern part of the Peloponnese, Greece, on a ridgetop near modern Rizomylos, at the northwestern corner of the Messenian Gulf. It was the home of an Acropolis where many--what we now call--fossils were stored. The Nichoria bone was discovered by the ancient Hellenes roughly around 1000 BC. It is the blackened and petrified thigh bone of an extinct mega mammal--likely a woolly rhinoceros, or a mammoth--that roamed southern Hellas around one million years ago. The rusty-black color of the fossil bone indicates that it was most likely collected from the lignite deposits near the ancient town of Megalopolis, some 55 kilometers (35 miles) away from Nichoria. The Megalopolis basin was known in antiquity as the 'battleground of the Giants', where the Titanomachy was believed to have taken place. The dense concentration of large fossil bones found at the basin inspired the belief that entire armies of giants were blasted by Zeus' thunderbolts, and the Nichoria bone--the distal end of a right femur, 15 cm (5-6 inches) wide, about twice the size of a regular human thigh bone--was most likely believed to have belonged to one of these giants. If the myth or the bone came first is unknown.
A very good friend of mine lost someone tonight, and came to me for spiritual advice on how to deal with this grief. He is not Hellenistic, but values the lessons of Hellenismos on life and religion, and as such, he wanted to hear about funerary traditions within Hellenismos, and ancient Hellenic practice. What came out what a bit of a rambled Facebook message that was vague enough for interpretation but was anywhere from complete. As such, I write this today--in a hurry before an appointment--with love and sorrow in my heart, for a friend who suffers, and a young girl who lost her life.
The ancient Hellenes believed that the moment a person died, their psyche--spirit--left the body in a puff or like a breath of wind. Proper burial was incredibly important to the ancient Hellenes, and to not give a loved one a fully ritualized funeral was unthinkable. It was, however, used as punishment of dead enemies, but only rarely. Funerary rites were performed solely to get the deceased into the afterlife, and everyone who passed away was prepared for burial according to time-honored rituals.
A burial or cremation had four parts: preparing the body, the prothesis (Προθησις, 'display of the body'), the ekphorá (ἐκφορά 'funeral procession'), and the interment of the body or cremated remains of the deceased. Preparation of the body was always done by women, and was usually done by a woman over sixty, or a close relative who was related no further away from the deceased than the degree of second cousin. These were also the only people in the ekphorá. The deceased was stripped, washed, anointed with oil, and then dressed in his or her finest clothes. They also received jewelry and other fineries. A coin could be presented to the dead, and laid under or below the tongue, or even on the eyes, as payment to Kharon.
At dusk today, one of Hellenismos' most important festivals (if one can give classifications to the festivals at all) starts. It's the Anthesteria, and held in honor of Dionysos Limnaios, wine, and the dead. The Anthesteria was held annually for three days, the eleventh to thirteenth of the month of Anthesterion. It is an ancestral festival, the oldest of the festivals for Dionysos in Athens, a time of reflection and trust in the new growing season to come, a time to celebrate with the spirits of the departed the indefatigable resurgence of life. The festival centered around the celebration of the maturing of the wine stored at the previous vintage, whose pithoi were now ceremoniously opened, and the beginning of spring. The three days of the feast were called Pithoigia (after πίθοι 'storage jars'), Khoes (χοαί 'libations') and Khytroi (χύτροι 'pots').
Remember when I basically said that with Cepheus, we had come to the end of the Andoméda-related constellations? Yeah, I unintentionally lied. There is one more: Cetus, located in the aquatic portion of the sky, where many water-related constellations are places.
Yesterday, I got a wonderful e-mail from a reader of Baring the Aegis, who came here through the Pagan Blog Project. Many who participate in the project are some form of Wiccan or witch--the writer herself included. The writer told me about reading this blog with only a Wiccan mindset to rely upon, and asked me the following question:
Because I write with Hellenists in mind, I realize I don't often make comparissons between Hellenismos and other religions or Traditions. Her questions are therefor absolutely logical. For those of you who also came here from a non-Hellenistic, or non-Recon path, I wanted to share my answer to her with you, just to see if I can clear up some confusion.
Coming of age ceremonies are prevalent in most cultures and are often linked to the religious views of the people performing it. Famous examples are the bar mitswa's and bat mitswa's of the Jewish. The ancient Hellens had coming of age rituals as well, and like almost everything else in ancient Hellenic life, these rituals were tied into deity worship. Today, I'm going to talk about these coming of age ceremonies, but because the differences are so great between girls and boys, I'm going to describe their coming of age ceremonies separately.
When a whole family gets uplifted into the sky, the breakdown of their constellations gets a little repetitive over time, sorry about that. When we last saw the Aethiopia ruling family, we discussed the constellations Androméda and Cassiopeia. Today, we close the trilogy with Capheus, father of Andromeda, and husband to Cassiopeia, and add a good bit of info to the myth.
I have noticed that Hellenismos has its own, very specific, cleaning problems. As you have seen, my altar stands on carpet, and the longer I practice, the more wine stains appear on it. The bowl I use to give burnt offerings is stained with soot, and I'm sure that if it stood near a wall, that would be blackened as well. On top of that, the copper bowl I use to keep my daily khernips in, stains due to the water, and the salt in it. On days of purification as well as on the Deipnon, I spent some time cleaning these items. Today, I wanted to share with you some natural ways to clean these tools. Note that there are chemical cleaning tools available for all these stains--so if you're desperate to have a stain removed, that is always a possibility--but I prefer the natural way.
I'm doing a combination post today: I'm combining a Pagan Blog Post, and a constellation series post. As such, I'll be talking about the mythical creatures as well as the constellation named after a few very famous examples of the species. Centaurs (kéntauros, kένταυρος) are depicted as half man, half horse; having the torso of a man extending where the neck of a horse should be. They were said to be wild, savage, and lustful, and in very old Hellenic artwork, they were often depicted as fully human, with a horse's end added to them. This shape for Centaurs remained in art for civilized Centaurs like Kheiron and Pholus.
Today, I'm kicking off a new series, based on ancient Hellenic mythology. Like with the constellation series, in this series, I will take an often well-known piece of knowledge or myth, and will attempt to provide a more well-rounded view, or provide you with information you might not have about it. This series, in particular, focusses on the connection between certain Theoi and the various flowers, plants and trees we associate with Them through mythology.
I'm starting this series off with a flower, associated with a very tragic love story: the hyacinth. From Wikipedia: "Hyacinthus is a small genus of bulbous flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae. Plants are commonly called hyacinths. The genus was formerly the type genus of the separate family Hyacinthaceae; prior to that it was placed in the lily family Liliaceae. Hyacinthus is native to the eastern Mediterranean (from south Turkey to northern Israel), north-east Iran, and Turkmenistan."
Within Hellenic mythology, we find Hyakinthos (Ὑάκινθος), a divine hero with a cult in Amykles (Αμύκλες), a village located southwest of Sparta.
Every year on the fourteenth day of Skirophorion, from the time of Erechtheus (1397 - 1347 BC) to--at least--the second century AD, this odd ritual was reenacted. It was called the 'Bouphónia' (βουφόνια), and was part of another festival; the 'Dipolieia' (τὰ Διπολίεια), a feast in honor of Zeus Polieus (Zeus of the City).
When I was a little girl, my favorite book was the Dutch translation of Michaels Ende's (originally German) 'Momo and The Grey Gentlemen'. Together with the main character from comic series 'Yoko Tsuno', my ethical system and basic personality got its foundation from Ende's main character Momo. If you haven't read this book--it's from the writer of 'The Neverending Story', if that helps--please pick up a copy. It was written in 1974, and describes well... exactly our current society. That's not what I wanted to talk about, however. I wanted to talk about the Constellation Cassiopeia.
An altar is one of those basic necessities within Hellenismos, and it differs from a shrine. Where an altar is a 'work space', dedicated not so much to a specific deity, but used to do the bulk of the (daily) rituals, a shrine is a devotional area where an altar might be located. In ancient Hellas, the shrine was usually a temple, the altar an actual altar, standing outside of it. Household worship took place at a multitude of shrines.
Labeling something a shrine, does not mean you can't sacrifice at these spots in your home; every Hene Kai Nea and Noumenia, I offer libations of mixed wine and incense at my shrine to Apollon, Hermes and Hekate, every Noumenia, I offer mixed wine and incense to Zeus Kthesios at His shrine in my kitchen, and ever Agathós Daímōn, I make a libation of unmixed wine at His shrine. As explained previously, I don't have an outdoor altar; I have one indoors, and it also houses my continual flame to Hestia. It's at this shrine I do the bulk of my worship--it's my hearth. It has my offering bowl, and is very deity-neutral, just to make sure everyone I give sacrifice to might feel at home at it. It's located in my bedroom shrine--the actual space, decorated and kept clean for the Theoi.
My altar is not the altar the ancient Hellens would have used. For one, it's not outside--something I'm grateful for as it's snowing outside at the moment--and for another, it's not made of stone. I don't make a fire on top of it--a good thing, seeing as it's made of wood--but have to use a bowl to do so. In ancient Hellas, an altar was called a 'bômos' (βωμός)--properly signifying any elevation--with an 'epipuron' (ἐπίπυρον)--a movable pan or brazier--used on top of the bômos so it could serve as an altar for burnt-offerings. The household hearth was used to make sacrifices as well, and thus served as an altar of sorts. It was named after the Theia of the home and hearth: 'hestía' (ἑστία). Some state-owned altars--especially when they were simply large fires--were named 'hestía' as well.
2412 years ago, one of Hellas' greatest thinkers stood trial before a jury of 500 men, chosen by lot. Socrates (Σωκράτης), a philosopher who was of the opinion that people should not be self-governing; they needed to be led, like a shepherd led a flock of sheep. He was of the opinion that the average Athenian had the basic virtue necessary to nurture a good society, nor the intelligence to foster such virtue within themselves. As such, he was against the democratic system that came to fruition in the city of Athens at the same time he did.
His views came from an oracular message from Delphi. In the words of Diogenēs Laertios (Διογένης Λαέρτιος), a biographer of the Hellenic philosophers:
On the second day of the new Hellenistic month, we give sacrifice to (the) Agathós Daímōn, on a day named after the 'Good Spirit'. It's an important practice, and I have come to realize I don't know enough about Agathós Daímōn to do His worship justice. This is why this Pagan Blog Project post delves into His worship.
The mythology, application and existence of the Agathós Daímōn (ἀγαθός δαίμων) is a bit of a muddled mess. When one researches the term, six basic premises emerge:
- The Agathós Daímōn is a Theos, married to the Theia Agathe Tyche (Ἀγαθή Τύχη, 'Good Fortune')
- The Agathós Daímōn is an epithet of Zeus, or linked to Zeus Kthesios and/or Zeus Melichios
- The Agathós Daímōn is linked Hermes Chthonius
- The Agathós Daímōn is a fertility daimon, tied to the harvest and prosperity from agriculture
- The Agathós Daímōn is a personal guardian spirit, either tied to the person, the family, or the oikos
- The Agathós Daímōn is the personification of a person's conscious, or even their muse
It's due time for another astronomy post, wouldn't you say? Today, I'm picking up the fourth of the constellations in the zodiac: Capricornus. Capricornus is often referred to as 'Capricorn', the latin word for 'horned goat' or 'goat horn', and in ancient Hellas--and even in most modern interpretations--the hybrid is not between human and goat, as one might expect from a culture with satyrs in its mythology, but goat and fish.
At dusk on January 8th, the Haloa (῾Αλῶα) festival starts. This ancient Hellenic festival was held in honor of Demeter, Dionysus and a little bit in honor of Persephone. Like all festivals of Demeter and Persephone's 'Kore' persona, women were the only ones who were allowed to handle the religious and sacrificial side of it.
The Haloa is part of the Mysteries, and thus linked to the festivals of Proirosia (5 Pyanepsion), Thesmophoria (11-13 Pyanepsion), the Lesser Mysteries (20-26 Anthesterion), Thargelia (6-7 Thargelion), Stenia (9 Pyanepsion), Skirophoria (12 Skirophorion) and the Eleusinian Mysteries themselves, which were held 15-17/19-21 Boedromion. It was a rural festival, meaning it wasn't state-organized and widely spread, so most details are incredibly fuzzy. He're what we do know about it:
The Haloa is assumed to be a celebration of the pruning of the vines and the tasting of the wine after its first fermentation, or it may be to encourage the growth of corn from the seed. It is named after the hálōs (ἅλως), which means both threshing floor and garden. Since the first sense of the word would be inapplicable to a festival celebrated in January, scholars--including Nilsson in his 'Greek Popular Religion'--insist it must have been a gardening festival--with lots of wine and adult content.

I appreciate your help and I am going to focus my energies now on getting the manufacturer to supply the VRUW. My electrician is on vacation in the near term anyway.

Finally got the VRUW. It is actually a simple solid state triac control:
This is what I suspected, but the peace of mind doesn't hurt.
No wonder Lennox claims to not have the specs - they sell it for over $70 usually, and I paid $68. Ouch.
I found this part of the instructions interesting:
"Ground(earth)** - Be sure to ground control using the green wire.
**Some models do not require grounding. Therefore grounding wire is not provided."
I'm no expert, but isn't a ground wire a good thing to have?
Most of these rheostats are mounted in metal boxes with side straps. The box mounts inside under the fire box where all the other electronics and gas valve are. Since it mounts to the metal enclosure it is inherently grounded and needs no additional green wire.
No one said these fire places were cheap.
Answers based on the 2008 & 2011 NEC. If you're on the '14 already I feel sorry for you.
I have the Lennox ME43 (which Lennox bought from SecurityChimneys) which uses the UZY5 blower kit. But there's no real detail on where to place the thermodisc.
Any help would be appreciated.
For those unfamiliar with the two devices, a Rheostat is a variable resistor and works by reducing the voltage delivered to the load - this is inefficient, as the excess current is expended as heat, and running a motor at reduced voltage (think "brown out") typically reduces motor life. An electronic motor control always delivers full voltage -- but for adjustable segments of time (think flipping a switch on and off really fast).
I would think higher up to detect the heat sooner (heat rises), however sometimes manufacturers experience problems with components failing for one reason or another.
It is possible for example that if these are mounted at the very top, the intense heat could cause them to fail, and the manufacturer might then recommend that they be mounted lower down. Or maybe not.
But if there is a best spot to mount it, the manufacturer would know. (They hear about all the problems people have.)
The ones I have done have had a stud sticking down and you install the sensor bracket to that stud with a wing nut.
Answers based on the 2008 & 2011 NEC. If you're on the '14 already I feel sorry for you.
What you have purchased is a UL listed assembly. The assembly is listed and labeled as tested by UL laboratories. The optional equipment is also UL approved for the specific products that it was tested on.
If you alter or use products that are not listed or labeled for that specific piece of equipment then you are voiding not just the warranty but also taking on all of the liability if something were to happen. In addition, you will be violating the NEC and it will not be able to be approved by the AHJ although I am questioning your AHJ's judgement and competency with what he has already recommended to you.
If you have been waiting for 6 months then maybe you should take it all back and install a better product. They obviously cannot provide adequate service.
The heat sensor and fan on/off switch or rheostat are normally never attached to each other except through wiring. Most switches cannot operate at the same temperature that the heat sensor can anyway.
My answers are based mostly on the ICC codes. Advice given is my personal opinion and every person performing work should acquire a permit from his/her jurisdiction and get the work inspected. My opinions are not directions to follow for DIYs or professionals
Double ouch when I could have just installed the Pass and Seymour like I wanted to, which is rated for PSC fans, as is the VRUW.
FWIW, there is noticeable hum when close to the fireplace with the installed VRUW. So, the VRUW is basically a cheap, overpriced POS.
The fireplace rocks though...

If Chakotay were a real Indian, wouldn't he have scalped Captain Janeway by now? Message Board
Post to this discussion forum
Return to Star Trek Voyager book reviews
Chakotay is supposed to be an American Indian on the show, and yet we haven't seen him do anything Indian-ish in a long time. In the first season he was going on visionquests, talking to his animal guides, and fingering his tattoo. Now he does none of those things, just sitting around like Riker on tranquilizers. When they were trapped on the volcano planet in "Basics Part II", Chakotay couldn't start a fire or use a bow and arrow. If he were a real Indian, don't you think he could've built a teepee, or done a rain dance, or planted some corn, or something? How come he never even puts on war paint when they go to red alert? At this point, how is he any different from Riker, minus the beard?

I will assume optimistically that these questions are meant as jokes and not as the racist comments they appear to be at first glance.

This question is too funny. The reason he couldn't do things "Indians" do is that he is from a tribe of "Casino Indians". They scalp differently. Snake-Eyes....you lose. Now, if he were to encounter a crew of Ferengi... you'd see his native skills clearly demonstrated. As for that tatoo, he got drunk on shoreleave and woke up with it. Too embarassed to tell anyone what happened, he claimed it was "native decoration" and everybody bought it.

chaokatoy chose to leave his tribe when he was 16 and even befor that he didnt want to be in it so he never leanrned stuff like that plus not all tribes are scapling tribes

I thought it was great having a native american charecter in star trek chakotay's spiritualality helped his ship and crew, and he is my favorite charecter mmm that tattoo of his. And i agreee there is nothing wrong with native americans i have quiet a few native american friends in msn that i talk to and two of them my friends helped me through a hard time. Their nice cause they live in peace with the land and have a connection to all living things. Peace in your heart fortune in your footsteps as chakotay says!

I love my tea length dress I've always had a tea-length dress in mind for my wedding. I got engaged and married in a month and a half and wore this dress with no alterations. This is a size 8. I normally wear a size 6. It fit very well, it is a bit roomy in the bust. I tried it on with a red ribbon for fun and loved it so much I changed all of my wedding colors. I always get compliments on its unique style. The peep-toe shoes I wore we're also from David's Bridal. My consultant lent me a pair to try on, and I loved the whole look and later returned to buy them. May 18, 2013
I love this dress. I actually hesitated to try on this dress. I had my mind set that I wanted the biggest princess gown I could find, but promised my mom I would try on at least one tea length dress. I immediately fell in love with it. My mom cried, I almost cried...this is the perfect dress. Perfect combination of princess with a comfortable length for a June Wedding outside in Texas! March 7, 2013
Gorgeous!! My mom and I were actually picking up my sisters wedding dress. My mom saw me eyeing the dress racks, and said to just try one on for fun, so i looked through the racks, not very excited. Till i layed my eyes on this piece of art! I fell in love with it in the bag, and tried it on. I came out, and i immediately felt like a bride, i felt like me, i felt gorgeous! My mom even started crying ( which never happens) and she said "this is it, were buying it! i dont care if you dont get married for 3 years, your buying it right now, its perfect, it won't be here when you come back!" There was no need to try on any other dress, this was it! So, three months later I got engaged, and I am so thankful she bought it for me. It was perfect timing, for a perfect dress! It's amazing, and I can't stop thinking about it! I love this dress! February 27, 2013
What a Fabulous Find!! I actually bought this dress to wear during my reception because i got such a good deal on my first dress i figured why not. Such a great fit and has the wire cups which is a total plus! I added one of the pink sashes tied in a bow to give it a touch of me but totally stands on its own. December 2, 2012
